New integration will be implemented in TA Disruption Hub with
Uber rides
TA Connections, a Corpay (NYSE: CPAY) company with unmatched
access to travel and hotel inventory and a leader in global travel
solutions, is excited to announce a strategic collaboration with
Uber for Business (NYSE: UBER). This includes the introduction of a
new integration within TA Disruption Hub, TA Connections’ flight
disruption management solution, which allows airlines to assist
disrupted passengers by scheduling Uber rides for passengers.
A DPAX (Disrupted Passenger Assistance) platform, TA Disruption
Hub allows airlines to support passengers that experience flight
disruptions by providing a holistic recovery plan which includes
flight rebooking, meal vouchers, accommodations, transportation—
and now, Uber rides to help them get home or to a hotel. This
solution is designed to improve the customer experience during a
stressful time for passengers.
Airlines can easily request and manage Uber rides within the
application, reducing the workload on busy airline customer service
teams. Additionally, the integration provides airlines with greater
visibility into, and enables better costs control regarding, the
rides they schedule for disrupted passengers. For passengers, the
integration will make for a seamless rider experience, giving them
the ability to view their trip details, driver location, and pickup
point.
“We’re thrilled to increase the services and solutions for
disrupted passengers and airlines,” said Mike Appleton, President
of TA Connections. “Not only does TA Disruption Hub have the
potential to improve the passenger experience during a flight
disruption, it also gives airlines more control over costs, and
simplifies customer support. We know passengers are looking for
self-service solutions, and we’re excited to team up with Uber for
Business to provide that.”
TA Connections has a long-term innovation plan with future
integrations and services. Thanks to the latest version of TA
Disruption Hub with the new Uber ride scheduling feature, airlines
should see improvement to the passenger experience, more efficient
flight disruption management, and reduced customer service
costs.
The collaboration between TA Connections and Uber for Business
aims to transform how airlines and travelers manage transportation
needs, delivering superior convenience, efficiency, and peace of
mind during travel disruptions.
“Uber for Business wants to make travel as seamless and
efficient as possible. We understand that things won’t always go to
plan, and where we can help is easing the stress for passengers and
customer service teams alike with a platform they’re already used
to using in their day-to-day,” said Josh Butler, Global GM, Uber
for Business. "Through this integration with TA Connections, we are
making it easier for airlines to support their passengers during
disruptions, providing much-needed relief to both travelers and
airline staff who strive to manage and make the best of these
difficult situations.”

automating operations for airlines. With a suite of solutions that
